Abstract: Aspects of the subject disclosure may include, for example, identifying, by a processing system including a processor, a penetration loss, resulting in an identified penetration loss, obtaining, by the processing system, an indication of a first frequency or a first frequency range associated with a first communication, and identifying, based on the identified penetration loss and the indication, a type of cover that at least partially encases the processing system, resulting in an identified type of cover. Other embodiments are disclosed.

Abstract: The disclosed technology is directed towards associating a distributed unit (a baseband function) with a radio unit, corresponding to a service area, when the radio unit transitions from an idle state to an active state with respect to serving user equipment. When an idle radio unit receives a message requesting connection from a formerly idle user equipment, or user equipment to be served due to a handover, the message triggers assignment of a distributed unit to the radio unit, whereby the radio unit becomes active to serve the user equipment. If insufficient distributed unit capacity exists, a new distributed unit is dynamically instantiated and assigned to the radio unit. When a radio unit transitions from active to idle, the radio unit is disassociated from the distributed unit. If a distributed unit is not associated with any radio unit, the distributed unit is deactivated to reduce resource consumption.

Abstract: In one example, real-time text (RTT) communications are integrated with video services. For instance, one method for integrating RTT communications with video services includes receiving a real time text call intended for a recipient in a home network, forwarding the real time text call to a first device in the home network, receiving a signal to redirect the real time text call to a second device in the home network that is different from the first device, and forwarding the real time text call to the second device, in response to the signal.

Abstract: A system for closed loop prefix management for white boxes includes a network device, a route reflector coupled to the network device, a software defined network controller coupled to the route reflector and the network device, and a prefix usage analyzer in the software defined network controller. The prefix usage analyzer determines usage attributes of prefixes and identifies the prefixes with a predetermined usage attribute. The software defined network controller instructs a network controller in the network device to store the prefixes with the predetermined usage attributes in a table in the network device.

Abstract: Architectures and techniques are presented that provide an improved mechanism for a subscriber entity to report to a network provider a network issue that affects the performance of an application that uses a service provided by the network provider. The improved mechanism can enable fine granularity with respect to the network issue by identifying the issue on a per-session basis. In response to feedback data that is reported by the subscriber entity, the network provider can perform self-healing or other upgrade techniques to rapidly remedy the network issue.

Abstract: The described technology is generally directed towards spammer location detection, and in particular, to locating a spammer that makes multiple calls from a given location via a cellular communications network. In some examples, network equipment can obtain call trace records associated with the multiple calls, identify a group of call trace records based on a shared call trace feature, aggregate data from call trace records within the group, and determine an estimated location based on the aggregated data.

Abstract: The technologies described herein are generally directed to modeling radio wave propagation in a fifth generation (5G) network or other next generation networks. For example, a method described herein can include, for a network application, identifying, by a system comprising a processor, a user equipment communicatively coupled to base station equipment via a first network connection implementing a first radio access technology and a second network connection implementing a second radio access technology. The method can further include identifying, by the system, performance characteristics of the first network connection and the second network connection. Further, the method can include, based on the first performance characteristic and the second performance characteristic, facilitating, by the system, allocating, to the user equipment, power for uplink transmission by the first network connection and the second network connection, resulting in an uplink power allocation.

Abstract: A context-aware network service engine is employed to support integrated network. In one aspect, the network service engine can receive a message associated with the user's intent and/or situation via a standard and/or open application programming interface (API). Based on an analysis of the message with context data and/or defined policy data, the network service engine can establish procedures to provide integrated services. The integrated services can comprise multiple communication services that are initiated simultaneously (or substantially simultaneously) in response to receiving the message. As an example, the context data can comprise user-related data, real-time network resource availability, presence data, and the like. As an example, the network services can be initiated concurrently and/or in a specified order.

Abstract: Aspects of the subject disclosure may include, for example, a method in which a processing system authenticates a communication device roaming from a home network that does not support Voice over Long Term Evolution (VoLTE) roaming, and in which the processing system communicates with a packet gateway (PGW) of an evolved packet core (EPC) separate from the processing system, to facilitate communication between the communication device and a subsystem of the EPC; the subsystem emulates the home network to provide a VoLTE roaming service to the communication device. The communication device also engages in a session initiation protocol (SIP) with the subsystem to initiate a communication session with the subsystem; in accordance with the communication session, the subsystem provides the VoLTE roaming service to the communication device. Other embodiments are disclosed.
